Chapter 069 The Gangland has a new generation of new people to change the old people

When Xu Fengyen and the old monk came to the lakeside herdsmen camp, found that only set down felt tents have been pulled out, reloaded on the wagon, it seems to be migrating into exile again, all the way to lead the horse slowly walking the Dragon Tree monk turned his head to Xu Fengyen and asked: “Your Highness, is already the fourth time to move to kill, why do not you do it every time?”

Xu Fengyen smiled and said, “Since the old abbot is a holy monk, naturally the belly can tolerate the world’s intolerable people, do not all say that the Buddha’s head in the dung Buddha is not wrathful, with me to calculate what.”

The old monk looked deeply at this vindictive young man, laughed: “Your highness is a true villain with a lively mind. But you this to kill or not to kill, is not the same thing, old line or want to ask your highness a breath out of the heart and chest of that bad gas, also have a good get together.”

Xu Fengnian this time did not hide, convergence of the pretense of cynicism of the fickle look, plainly said: “kill indeed is true, kill heart dare not have, for fear of being the old abbot as a devil that everyone get to put to death, and later return to the two Zen temple this Buddhist holy place, casually a mouthful of spittle can crucify me. I have seen the heart of the great Taoist real people, a Zhao Huang Chao, a Zhao Xuan Su, are not good things, but the realm is strangely high, they say that the Taoism is pure and quiet, I really do not know how to cultivate out of the realm.”

The old monk softly lamented, “These two Longhu Mountain great real person ah, in the end still both failed to let go of that family name, no wonder they diverged into a side road. Just like the old line, these years also always often can not keep the original heart. I don’t want to be obsessive, I am obsessive, how can I solve it? After the old line became the presiding officer, failed to figure out many things, thought about it, really no way, went to countless Taoist texts to find out, and finally felt that it seems that the ‘Taoism Laws of Nature’ four words in the twenty-fourth chapter of the Tao Te Ching, the heaviest weight. Later on, the disciple said that he wanted to clarify his mind and see nature, and to certify Bodhi himself. I also thought it was very good. The two sets of gathas that I argued with the head elder brother back then, the disciple returned from traveling 10,000 miles to the west, and only said eight words of comment: beauty is beautiful, but the end is not yet. Brother nodded yes, and then passed away. There are also Confucian sages who said do not take evil as a small do not take good as a small, really put the truth. This trip to North Mang is destined to destroy the so-called Buddha realm in the eyes of the world.”

Xu Fengnian frowned, “Fall realm?”

The old monk smiled and nodded, “It is to drop.”

Xu Fengnian shook his head, “I don’t understand the epiphany and the standing on the ground to become a Buddha as proposed by the white-robed monk.”

The old monk laughed, “The old monk doesn’t really know how to play the witticisms either, otherwise this is the right time to talk to your highness about some Buddhist words that make it seem like you don’t understand.”

Xu Fengyen said helplessly, “The old Abbot finally has some high ranking style at this moment.”

The old monk who was holding a horse with one hand and a bamboo reed zen staff with the other said softly, “Even if I say so, I will not give away the two zen dan.”

Xu Fengnian was about to speak.

The old monk said softly, “It is better to ask Buddha than to ask yourself.”

Xu Fengyen smiled bitterly, putting back into his stomach that question about Xu Snapdragon and didn’t dare to know the answer.

Xu Fengyen then said to himself, “Regardless of what the intentions are, since we are going to fall out of the realm, how is it that the old Abbot’s trip is considered as if I don’t go to hell and who goes to hell. Those who are high above can only be gilded Buddha statues and clay Bodhisattva, or those who are willing to go to the folk mundane world like the old abbot are the real monks.”

The old monk silently reached into the cuff of his robe and took out a small four-sided wooden box, seeing Xu Fen Nian confused, the host of the Two Zen Temple said in a serious manner, “When you get older, you always like to be complimented.”

Xu Fengnian silently took the wooden box, the corners of his mouth twitching, speechless.

The herdsmen were pleasantly surprised to see Xu Fengyen and the old monk coming with their companions, surprised because the young Bodhisattva’s going and returning had made them feel guilty, and delighted because the Buddha’s presence again was a great comfort psychologically for the small tribe that was plagued with many disasters.

Huyan Guanyin and A Baoji trotted together towards this pair of towering Bodhisattva-Buddhas, she stopped for some reason, but the child full of excitement broke away from her hand and still ran over.

Xu Fengyin changed his clothes, asked for a bag of fresh water and food, and continued north.

※※※※

“North and South, have you ever felt that the branches and leaves of your peach tree of the same age are a bit less lush?”

“Master, don’t trick me into peeing and watering fertilizer, okay? I’ll be beaten to death if Stuff and Master Maiden find out!”

“You all have the guts not to go to the golden dome to quarrel, causing master to bumpy all the way for thousands of miles, drooling not ten pounds but also eight pounds, you do not have a guilty conscience?”

“I’ll go cook later.”

“Enlightenment doesn’t seem to be quite enough.”

“Master, just say what to do.”

“Master’s wife said this morning that pinching her fingers and counting, it’s not advisable to do laundry for the last few days.”

“Got it.”

“Then what are you waiting for?”

“Didn’t I say to help you knock your back for half an hour? It’s only been one incense stick.”

“Oh. It seems that enlightenment is growing, not bad, not bad.”

“Master.”

“Eh?”

“Master’s wife brought something down the mountain to buy rouge and powder again. A few days ago, she said that in the past, there were a lot of wealthy warriors who pursued her, and said that if she married one of them, she would buy a box of rouge for several tens of taels of silver without batting an eyelid, unlike now.”

“So?”

“En!”

“Then, the master’s master happens to be away from the temple, his old man treasured a few sets of Buddhist scriptures, you go to steal them, down the mountain pawned for silver to go. Anyway, when it’s time to return to the temple, he’ll be willing to beat me, but not you.”

“Master, this is against the precepts.”

“You’ve fallen for the girl, you’ve sworn not to be that Buddha, and you’re still afraid of this?”

“Master, it’s a nice day, I’m going to wash my clothes.”

“Go go go, enlightenment is still not enough.”

This little monk ran to the end wooden basin to get a rubbing board, and sat on a small bench under the sun.

In the beginning in the North Liang King’s residence, things hung half a catty of red makeup on the face, His Highness the World Son may be good and kind not wanting to hurt her heart, but stupid north and south at that time was really think it looks good ah. After that, it is more and more think to become a Buddha, can burn out the sherpa, so that she can buy better rouge and powder. But something made a dream, he can not be a Buddha nowadays.

Stupid north and south low head scrubbing the clothes, only feel very sad ah.

※※※※

With two Zen Temple Qi name holy land of Longhu Mountain, a withered and thin teenager beat down Qi Xuan frame seat of the black tiger, a fight to the ground, and then ride the tiger down the mountain.

※※※※

Northern Liang Wangfu, Listening to the Tide Pavilion.

A cool mountain, no wind nor rain.

Li Yishan in the dark and humid top floor ambush writing about the dynasties of the imperial power of the power of the ups and downs of the struggle, has been written to the dynasty today’s son of heaven and Zhang Julu, shaking his wrist, accidentally will be a few drops of ink droplets in the rice paper, look at the slowly dipping and spreading the ink, this has been in the attic of life in the small twenty years of the Royal House of the chief of the staff suddenly nausea, and hastily cover his mouth, pick up the foot side of the gourd of the wine, a mouthful of green ants with a mouthful of alcohol gulp surging up to the Throat blood, put down the wine pot, vision dim, a volume of the end of the “Since ancient times, the faint and inert masters to raise the power of the prime minister, this dynasty of the famous ministers to assist the diligent king, why is it strange,” a few twenty words, but also wrote a little crooked, lost the usual chapter and verse.

Li Yishan gently sigh, put down that a rod of hard hair, resting on the pen holder, spit out a mouthful of wine taste blood mixed with a thick cloudy air, Li Yishan casually lifted open a few Wutong Court five or six maids recently compiled together with the engraving of the dynasty’s geography, looked at a few eyes on the put down, struggling to stand up, pushed away from the door, walked to the eaves of the corridor, thought about it, unprecedentedly walked downstairs, the white fox child’s face for some reason also followed him, walked to the first floor together! , and out of the Listening Tide Pavilion, to the lake where ten thousand tails of precious koi are kept, a few pavilion guard slaves were all shocked, and notified the King of Northern Liang in the first instance. Li Yishan stood at the edge of the pavilion pedestal, shaking, wait until Xu Snap ran, only to sit down with difficulty, Xu Snap sat beside this nationalist who was known as the right arm and left arm with Zhao Changling back then, and draped an old fox fur on himself over Li Yishan, and frowned: “YuanYing, your body bones can’t suffer from the cold, how did you go out of the building?”

Li Yishan covered his mouth and still couldn’t stop coughing, Xu Primrose hurriedly knocked his back gently, this Spring and Autumn state official looked at the lake with peaceful eyes and laughed softly, “Great General, how many years have I followed you?”

Xu Snap sighed: “Thirty-two years. At first I was a dead barbarian with a despicable background, not many readers were happy to serve me as a henchman, they all thought it was humiliating and degrading to the family, just you and Changling were two rash young men who came here one after another foolishly, I thought at that time that both of you were either having a problem with your brains or were not up to any good intentions. Only later did I realize that I had picked up a treasure.”

Li Yishan retracted his hand, clenched his fist on his knee, smiled broadly, and said softly, “Great General, Zhang Julu is a famous and powerful minister with more ambition and talent than both Zhao Changling and I. Is it tiring to have such a temple rival?”

Xu Snap lightly patted his thirty years old partner’s back and laughed, “With you around, what am I afraid of? Anyway, it’s never been me charging into battle, you strategizing, who have I ever been afraid of?”

Li Yishan laughed bitterly, “You’re a shirker, too much of a scoundrel.”

Xu Snapdragon laughed: “I’m such a rough man, in addition to the shoe sewing work that I learned from Lao Song, it’s not bad, and I cheated a daughter-in-law to come back, so I can’t do any other fine work.”

Li Yishan smiled serenely, squinted his eyes, looked at the sky, and slowly said, “Back then, many people advised you to become the emperor yourself, and I was one of the very few who did not approve, if back then, you let so many generals get cold feet and decide to disarm and return to the field because you listened to my bullshit, and even many people turned against you. It’s good for you to curse back today.”

Xu Snapdragon shook his head, “It’s only a matter of how big a deal it is, besides it’s me who knows that I don’t have the life to be an emperor, it has nothing to do with you.”

Li Yishan coughed a few times, said: “Zhang Julu is very powerful ah, only a few years of work to let the court up and down the new pattern of everyone excited about the new atmosphere, although often taboo to provoke criticism, but really is the work of the gods of the earth and grain, and there is a bright king sitting on the dragon chair, so that he did not worry about the future. Especially in the preparation of the border on the outstanding achievements, let a person marvel, several wars between the two countries have failed to end, but the two dynasties of the Eastern Frontier, hard in his arrangement to reverse the trend of decline, the border collapse gradually have to make up for the choice of a large number of good fighting young and strong generals to go to the side of the enemy, rare is to persuade the Gu Jiantang, in the Department of the Ministry of the Army to add two officers to fill in the shortage of border guards, the first time in the hands of the old First Minister to serve as a military school at the border, is not a turbid product of the miscellaneous streams! It is not valued as a relegated official, now it is a meat and potatoes, see Zhang Julu this empire framer’s sewing skills. General, but Zhang Julu is not a perfect person, the purple beard and blue-eyed children of small things mild, big things, but conceited overriding, known as bystanders colleagues have disobedience of the standing broken, which will inevitably lay the root of the trouble, when the old aristocratic valves are no longer in the former dynasty’s lords take turns in charge of the handle of the dynasty, no foundation, but there are still two major scholar group on top, and most of the two leading figures of the power and nobility was forced to serve, expelled from the Cabinet, or the rapid retreat. On the pretext of returning to the countryside to recuperate. This is the newest state son of the right priest scolded him is blowing flute pinch eye playing drums get lute, only scolding fierce, in the end or do not know Zhang Julu’s intention ah, the sole monopoly of the country handle of the first minister is clearly want to one person’s death after the body of the name, in exchange for peace for all generations.”

Li Yishan fierce vigorously, snow white face began to redden, continued: “Bieye child want to see the Xu family defeat in his lifetime, I Li Yishan into things not enough, some defeat in the end is still more than enough, but also left sixteen strategy should be right. In addition to this, there are six rustic of Northern Liang governance totaling thirty-four proposals, also finished writing, are left to Feng Nian.”

White fox face always stood behind the two old men, silent.

He knew that this withered state scholar, had long been terminally ill, and could not survive for much longer.

Xu Snap said softly, “Don’t say anything.”

Li Yishan loosened his fist, his palm scarlet puddle, smiled, no longer coughing, only the corners of his mouth oozing blood, tired to the extreme, he closed his eyes and said, “Mr. Nangong, Li Yishan begs you for one thing, in the future, if Feng Nian is in trouble and the 300,000 iron cavalry is unable to rescue him, I implore you to be sure to come to his aid once.”

White Fox’er face said in a deep voice, “Please rest assured sir!”

“It’s hard to see.”

Vision began to blur Li Yishan trembling raised his arm, take the finger pointing in the air, as if those years with the young Shizi His Highness a game of black and white.

His face covered with vicissitudes of life seems to have some regrets, that year to this child is too harsh, scolding too much, praise too little.

This man who did not know whether he died of illness or old age, his head sank against the great general sitting shoulder to shoulder, murmured, “Finally I can sleep well.”

This sleep goes away and never wakes up again. How big is life and death, how small is life and death.

White Fox’s face skimmed her head, unable to bear to look at it again.

Northern Liang King Xu Snapdragon just gently helped him to gather the fox fur that was about to slip off.
